It's nice to have a long, relaxing weekend. I think I'll get to make a few cards. We're not going anywhere for the Labor Day holiday and no visitors. Housework and yard work done and that leaves time for my craft.
My card is a case of LuvLee on Splitcoaststampers. She is the featured stamper this week. This is her very pretty CAS card.
I'm also entering my card into the challenge at CAS-ology #59. I'm thinking outside the box with this one.
As you see, the cue card is Book. I hope I didn't go too far out on a limb with this card for it to fit their challenge. They did say maybe your thoughts for this card will take you completely away from the literal meaning. My idea is books are made with paper and trees are used to make the paper. Therefore, my tree card.....hmmm

You card indeed looks very peaceful! Great use of white space and lovely accent with the pearls! Enjoy your weekend crafting, hugs!
This is such a pretty card, but what I like most about it is your take on the code word! I love seeing all the different ideas that people come up with to meet these one-word challenges! Brilliant interpretation!

Oooh what a gorgeous CAS card, great take on the book theme!
Enjoy your long weekend ... hope you're keeping hubby busy out in the garden ;)
Fantastic CAS card, Brenda! Very striking design!
This works for me, Brenda! Perfect!
Did you really say, "Out on a limb?" Grooaaan OK, despite that, I love the card. And the trees.
It's quickly getting to be that time of year. I keep looking at my two huge oak trees in the front and back, and I tell myself that one good thing about moving is that I won't be raking 140 bushels of oak leaves every fall. :-D
Love your clever connection to the cue card and the beautiful clean design in classic colours! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology this week!
What a cool CAS card - perfect design and great stamp! Hugz!
I happen to love birch trees. This is lovely, and I really liked the clean & simple style of B&W you used on this one. Really nice card. TFS
Such a fabulous card Benzi!! So fresh, crisp and clean! Love it!!
Thank you very much for joining us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!
hugs...

What a great take on the challenge...My first glance at your post, and I thought "How do trees fit the cue card?" and wow! You aced it. Not only with challenge inspiration but that great CAS card...so peaceful!
Simply beautiful. You inspire me to try my hand at a CAS card.
Ah, I like your take on the cue word "Books". You're right: books are made of paper, which comes from trees. That's deep thinking there! I hope it earned you some honors at the challenge.
CAS...classy....and the sentiment truly matches the image
